At first, I thought the Drider was the Borg Queen from First Contact. 

Dang, Zombie Town looks absolutely charming. I will absolutely check that one out if I can.

It's about damn time! Especially for The Mandalorian. Hopefully other companies follow suit. 

Even if he could carry the battery and the gun and the ammo at the same time, the recoil of the gun would be uncontrollable, he would not be able to aim it, and he would not be able to carry enough ammo to fire for more than a few seconds, even if he was covered with ammo. There is a reason all attempts to make a…

If you think The Super Mario Bros Movie is mindless garbage, you have no idea of the depths kids movies and shows can sink to.

I don’t say this lightly, but this is a dreadful, dehumanizing take.

Yeah, it’s okay to have different opinions on a movie.

Well, regarding Small Soldiers, there is this, a “Proof of concept” for a videogame rebootquel:

I don’t remember anything wrong with the opening scene, so my guess is no, you won’t like the rest of the movie, because the movie is pretty consistent overall in its approach from beginning to end.

That’s great news. Any info on where it will be available to buy? Amazon doesn’t have it for preorder yet. 

I don’t have Apple TV+, but I’m willing to suscribe for a few months to check that one out. I just hope it’s better than the Skull Island animated series, which I found quite underwhelming, with boring characters and a really terrible season finale.

It’s less grading on a curve, and more “understanding the state of society beyond our little bubbles.” No one is saying Barbie is a radical feminist manifesto à la SCUM. What we’re saying is that basic messages, especially when well conveyed, have more worth than you seem to be giving them.

I’m thinking less action movies, and more adventure-comedy for kids. Think Jumanji, Small Soldiers, Inspector Gadget (but not shit like the last one). All those movies were kids or a family get saddled with something weird going on and then they have to solve the hijinks with the help of funny adults. The trailers…

Yeah, and also this is a movie that will benefit from tge ability to freeze frame, rewind and look at the magnificent production design in details. And streaming services' controls tend to be shit. 

I’m not even sure I’d call Ferrell a vilain. I don’t think any character is a villain in this movie - the villain is the system, the social expectations, the roles we are pigeonholed into, and life as human being itself. Yes, Mattel is depicted in a mostly negative way, but you get the sense that the problem is not…

It’s basic, sure, but I wouldn’t say it’s not challenging. It’s not challenging to people who are versed in feminist theory, gender theory, and queer issued. But this idea that the patriarchy doesn’t mean “men = automatically powerful and rich” and that men can by it hurt too is absolutely news to a lot of people, who…

Yeah, I was thinking Linda might have been a little harsh. Yes, it’s a corporate product, so it is limited in how radical it can be, but the movie does wrestle with a lot of complicated questions and nuances. For someone used to academic texts on feminist theory, the movie might not feel very deep, but for a good chunk…

This is actually the last movie of the new regime. Gunn had very little to do with it. Can io9 stop saying this is the first of the Gunn-era films? You said that on the advance reviews too, and people pointed out how wrong it was then as well.

The trailer did give me a 90s movie vibe, namely of “young characters gets superpower/superpet/etc from mysterious source, family hijinks ensue”, but for the life of me I can't tell you which specific movies I'm reminded off. There is just a familiarity to it I can't fully pinpoint. 

Uh, wut? I have no idea how the hell you “slavery in the Ottoman Empire was good actually” from my comment.
